I don’t know what to say about that. I have read one commentary that states even Satan will be repentant in the end, but rekindle his jealousy and then be slain.

Perhaps it’s because the test for the Angel ended with the fall from heaven. Man having been put to the test, gets every chance up until the end.

I think of it as an example for the universe. Satan said God’s ways were too harsh, and that man couldn’t possibly live by His rules. In the end, man will live by grace, and the transformation that takes place just prior to Jesus second coming.

Those living when Jesus arrives again, will have had to go through tough times, and made decisions that will bind them to Jesus forever without them having seen death.

Didn’t mean that any of these people would not go into heaven other than by Jesus’ grace, but I think you know what I meant.

the other reasons believe are because we were made as people, the image of God, with free will, creativity, etc. secondly because the angels were created before God madeeverything, they saw Him make everything, and had no excuse to rebel and think created beings could overpower God. for most of us our sin natures are there simply because we’re born to sinful parents, and it’s not anything based on anything we’ve yet done. so mankind gets salvation if they receive it in the proper context.
